# Generic objects

Generic objects are objects that are implemented in C++, but can be accessed through the Yacas interpreter.

IsGeneric | check for generic object
GenericTypeName | get type name
ArrayCreate | create array
ArraySize | get array size
ArrayGet | fetch array element
ArraySet | set array element
ArrayCreateFromList | convert list to array
ListFromArray | convert array to list

###

IsGeneric -- check for generic object

Internal function

##### Calling format:

    IsGeneric(object)

##### Description:

Returns `True` if an object is of a generic object type.

###

GenericTypeName -- get type name

Internal function

##### Calling format:

    GenericTypeName(object)

##### Description:

Returns a string representation of the name of a generic object.

EG

    In> GenericTypeName(ArrayCreate(10,1))
    Out> "Array";

###

ArrayCreate -- create array

Internal function

##### Calling format:

    ArrayCreate(size,init)

##### Description:

Creates an array with `size` elements, all initialized to the value `init`.

###

ArraySize -- get array size

Internal function

##### Calling format:

    ArraySize(array)

##### Description:

Returns the size of an array (number of elements in the array).

###

ArrayGet -- fetch array element

Internal function

##### Calling format:

    ArrayGet(array,index)

##### Description:

Returns the element at position index in the array passed. Arrays are treated as base-one, so `index` set to 1 would return the first element.

Arrays can also be accessed through the `[]` operators. So `array[index]` would return the same as `ArrayGet(array, index)`.

###

ArraySet -- set array element

Internal function

##### Calling format:

    ArraySet(array,index,element)

##### Description:

Sets the element at position index in the array passed to the value passed in as argument to element. Arrays are treated as base-one, so `index` set to 1 would set first element.

Arrays can also be accessed through the `[]` operators. So `array[index] := element` would do the same as `ArraySet(array, index,element)`.

###

ArrayCreateFromList -- convert list to array

Internal function

##### Calling format:

    ArrayCreateFromList(list)

##### Description:

Creates an array from the contents of the list passed in.

###

ListFromArray -- convert array to list

Internal function

##### Calling format:

    ListFromArray(array)

##### Description:

Creates a list from the contents of the array passed in.
